The Swedish Research Council has announced Research Environment Grants in clinical therapy treatment research. Eighteen grants were awarded for a total of SEK 228 million. Three of these grants will go to Uppsala University.

The call was conducted in two stages. In the first stage, 95 outline applications were submitted and 39 of these moved on to the next stage. Of the full applications submitted, 18 were awarded grants. The average amount of funding provided during the 2017-2020 grant period is SEK 4.4 million per year.
